Like the title says, I'm having trouble finding bushings for my "Strongarm" brand A-arms. I called Armadillo and the bushes they have will not work with these arms.

Does anyone have any idea if 400ex bushings would be compatible with 250r a-arms?

Also, I have measurements if anyone out there has any bushings laying around that they could measure and tell me what brand they are.

The ID of the bushing tubes is 7/8" or .875 or 22mm on a caliper. The length of the tube is 1 13/16" or 46mm or 1.8125" on a caliper.

If anyone could provide any more help it would be greatly appreciated.

Dont think the 250r bushing will work. i had a set that held up real good. theres a company in canada that sold them, i dont think they make them anymore, but is HSDracing.com

I don't have a picture of the bushings, they are all gone. I would just need 16 bushings and 8 sleeves.

Would you still be able to make them? What material would you use? And what am I looking at for price here?

The bushing would be uhmw nd the sleeve I can make out of 6061al or a514 steel up to you but I would need a pic to see exactly how they were built .

I have some mystery A arms that need bushings and sleeves. Would you be willing to help me out? What would the bushings be made of? I can provide pictures and measurements of all my old stuff. Lmk
